4.5 stars. Stopped in here for some cheese and although they did not have exactly what I was looking for, they had quite a few choices. Each cheese was labeled with their town of origin so you could see what was local or not and choose that way, if you wished to. I love the fact that they wrap the cheese in real cheese friendly paper (a sort of waxed brown paper) and label it with the name. Partially baked frozen baguettes from France are available to take home and reheat. Worth a stop if in the area. read more

I absolutely love this Cheese shop. I've been coming here for a few years now. The establishment is so nice and quaint and the staff is always most helpful and knowledgeable about the cheese they offer. They make recommendations, which are spot on, plus I have my favorites I get every time. I especially love the cheese with truffles, so yummy. I've ordered charcuterie trays which they do very well. I also enjoy their lamp pepperoni which is delish I suggest this awesome cheese shop for a variety of tastes. read more

We happened to drive by this shop and just had to turn around to check it out. The people who helped me were so kind and welcoming. They let me try samples without any pressure or feeling like I was asking for a favor. I ended up leaving with three delicious cheeses--and it was so affordable! I'll definitely be back. read more

The Grand Fromage - Cheese Shops Near Me - Skippack Village, Pennsylvania

This is the best local cheese shop I have ever been to. Both the owner and the manager are very kind and well spoken about cheeses. They know exactly how to teach new customers about cheese and give samples. The ambiance is peaceful and inviting. You can take your time looking at all of the options. I have taken multiple friends here and will continue to go back. If you want to support a local business then this is it! Any Ursinus students should come here/ show your parents. read more

They have a good selection of cheese and other items like olives, olive oil, condiments, etc. Unfortunately their prices are very high - even higher than. Di Bruno's on some items. I can get the same items at other gourmet stores for much less but not bad for a quick splurge. read more

Super friendly, excellent customer service, went above and beyond! Loved working with Celestin and pretty much left all selections up to her for the gift basket! Reliable, great communication, and excellent all around. Great offerings from their store with a lot of variety/choices. Will definitely use them again when I need another gift in the area. read more

I've been travelling along Skippack more a bit recently and noticed this shop. I reached out to them if they had a cheese I was looking for, since I couldn't find my peppermint cheddar anywhere due to the pandemic. Eventually, my wife and I stopped in one day. A lot of recommendations, friendly staff, and most importantly a box to keep your previous orders. You can leave your listings, so next time when you are there, you could see what you ordered. Great quality and great service. read more

We were introduced to The Grand Fromage as it hosted a stop at the recent Wine Festival. The line for the wine tasting was long enough to allow us to check out the offerings. We saw lots of promise and potential, and left ready to buy a few jams. Once we finished sampling the wine and went to check out, we decided the jams would be lonely without a few cheeses. Although the amount of people in the store seemed to nearly overcome the two people behind the counter, they still provided prompt and attentive service. We asked for recommendations to pair with the jams we were purchasing and were provided samples of every cheese we inquired about before buying. We ended up walking away with four delicious options and have since enjoyed every bite. Overall an excellent little shop that I will surely return to whenever I'm in the area - which unfortunately is not frequent enough. (FYI... $10 minimum on credit card purchases) read more

Cliff notes: WOW This place is my heaven. So many cheeses!!! And the staff is great too. They are very knowledgeable in the cheeses and at very good at explaining the texture and taste of the cheeses. They also let you have a little taste before you decide to make your purchase. They are also helpful in helping you pair cheeses with their jams. Speaking of jams... they also have a great selection of jams. I tried their blackberry/violet and lychee/raspberry/rose jams and they are absolutely heavenly. There is a $10 minimum for card purchases, which believe me, will NOT be an issue if you are a true cheese lover and try their cheeses. I also need to make a note on how they wrap their cheeses, because I have never seen it wrapped so neatly like a Christmas present. The cheese itself is wrapped in a paper wrap (kind of like the type used to wrap deli meat) and is wrapped again i paper. AND they write the name of the cheese on the outside. The Grand Fromage definitely went the whole 9 yards when it comes to wrapping cheese. It literally was like unwrapping a Christmas gift. I have been to quite a few cheese shoppes, and I javen't seen cheese wrapped anything like this. I highly recommend this place. I just wish it weren't so far. I got 5 different types of cheese at 1/4 pounds each, fearing it would go bad. That's probably one of the biggest mistakes I have made so far in 2014 (mind you, it is only the 21 of January). I wish I would have gotten more cheeses, since it took only a couple days to finish the ones I have. Even my two baby rats love them (and they are despicably finicky eaters). They also have a decent variety of honey, which come to think of it, regret numero 2 is not getting their rosemary honey. But to be fair, I got distracted with the cheese and completely forgot. I am also fascinated with their jam selection. As previously mentioned, the brand "au fil du fruit" has exotic flavor jams: 1. lychee and raspberry jam with rose (yum yum yum!!!!!!) 2. blackberry jelly and violet (Yum!!!!) 3. black cherry jam and espelette chili pepper (did not try) 4. orange marmalade with ginger (did not try) They also have another jam that caught my eye called "Rosie's Hips" which obviously, contains rose hips but also has anise (which I hate). I should have gotten that anyway just to say I tried it. Point is, they have an impressive variety of spreads! They are flavors I have never seen before! Oh yes, their cheese cutting boards. I saw this cutting board that looked just like one from Anthropologie that I am obsessed with that The Grand Fromage is selling only less than $50 whereas Anthropologie is trying to sell it for $150.... as a clearance price. For a tiny shoppe, they have an amazing selection (cheese, jams. honey) and amazing service - I promise you there will be no regrets. If there was one in University City, I would be going there everyday. I love it here!!!!! read more

Amazing staff, amazing product and selection. The staff has so much knowledge and can recommend whatever you need. Also a great location for finding gifts for others. Cute shop! read more

My husband and I stopped today for the first time, just happened to be driving by. What a wonderful shop! The two ladies behind the counter were incredibly knowledgeable. We tasted a variety of blue cheeses (all were delicious!) and choose 3 cheeses to come home with us. We will definitely be back! Wide variety of cheeses, crackers, olive oils, vinegars, gourmet spreads and cheese "tools" read more

I happened upon this nice little cheese shop in downtown Skippack. I noticed a big sign marking "Cheese Shop" just off the main road and had to check it out. As I walked into the store it was really nice inside and welcoming. A great selection of cheeses as well as everything you might need to accompany those cheeses! Locally made sausage, olive oils, balsamic vinegar and so much more. Lost myself walking around this little shop looking at everything they had. Tried a bunch of cheeses and had to buy many of them as they were delicious! Spoke with the owner and she was very knowledgeable about all the cheese she had in the store and suggested some great picks that I had to buy too! She said they are opening up a second location and I can't wait to check that location out too! If you're up in Skippack, check out this nice shop, you won't regret it! read more

It's a perfect little shop. Great selection, knowledgeable staff. They encourage samples. Nice breads. Lots of interesting cheese related items. The prices seem in line with the quality. To be honesty's worth paying a bit more for the service! Super cute store. The cheeses I had were perfectly ripe. read more

"We did talk about cheese on our first date." ~Jane Kaczmarek ...and Grand it is. This lovely cheese shop is on par with anything you'll find outside of New York City. This isn't the traditional chrome display case store with a thousand cheeses in it. This is a more refined boutique cheese shop that sells rather, just a few dozen exceptional cheeses in addition to, European imported crackers, jams, pastas and exquisite hand carved burlwood cutting boards. Be sure to try the Gran Queso, a US made Manchego-like cheese which is made in Wisconsin. Its rind is rubbed in cinnamon, and paired with rosemary crackers... delicious. Another added bonus is the lovely creek nearby where we took our snacks and sat with our feet in the water... under the huge trees. read more

I don't know much about cheese. I typically stick to very basic cheeses. I stopped in this store about a month ago before heading to a friend's gathering and had no idea what to ask for. I told her the situation and asked for a cheese that everyone could enjoy - it took her 1 second to come up with a cheese. She gave me a sample and it was spot on exactly what I needed. The owner was very nice and knowledgeable. Unfortunately my second visit was at a time the store was closed, but I'll definitely be back. It's a very cute shop. read more

What's cute hidden gem! Love this cheese shop. Loaded with gourmet cheeses, honeys, spreads, and much more. If you are entertaining or having a nice night in, everything for nice bites. The staff is really helpful and let us sample a few to see what we liked. Also gave us pairing ideas. Love that I found this place! Off street parking around back. read more

A great experience! My girlfriend put together a belated Valentine's Day evening for us. She reached out to the owner, and set up a beautiful sampling for just the two of us, after regular store hours. The setting was lovely, with flowers on the table, candles and nice background music. We were treated to a large sampling of meats and cheeses, which were tailored to our individual tastes, and also paired with our wine selection. We were also treated to a nice dessert; with coffee available, as well as fresh berries, chocolate and some additional cheeses. The owner was very nice, and gave us some background information on all the delicious items, and answered all of our questions. Lots of the items were from the local area, which was an added bonus. Overall, a great evening, and not something that I would have thought I would have enjoyed so much. I left with a full tummy, and a nice to go bag of our evening's leftovers, to continue our cheese coma throughout the week. read more

My husband and I were venturing through the town of Skippack and saw the sign for the Grand Fromage. It's off the main road, but worth the extra few steps. We were expecting a small shop, but it was much bigger than we thought. We were able to push our stroller through the store. We were greeted by the husband and wife owners. They were very kind and appreciated our business. They had many samples of cheese, coffee, and other delightful things. While looking, another couple came in with a plate and asked if they could make up a cheese plate for company they would be having that night. My husband and I looked at each other and thought we wanted to do the same thing. We did not bring a plate with us, but the owner went through their cheeses, let us sample, and cut an assortment up for us to make up our own plate of our own at home. It was very affordable and we're bringing a plate int he next time we go back. They obviously need time to make the plate up, but we plan to drop it off when we arrive in town and pick it up later. Thank you for the excellent service and cant wait to come back! read more

A good selection and excellent service summarizes The Grand Fromage nicely. I popped in briefly looking for a particular variety of goat cheese, or at least something with the same characteristics, to use in cooking this coming semester. Though I didn't know the name, we were able to painstakingly narrow down the candidates through prolific sampling. It was a not-unpleasant experience. In the end I managed to snag a decent amount of a very sharp but creamy and easily melted goat cheese nearly identical to my mystery cheese. In the course of sampling the store straight into bankruptcy, I also tried an espresso-rubbed sharp cheddar-Parmesan that would seem to be an excellent breakfast cheese. In the end I left with a half pound of each, and a bar of gag "Emergency Chocolate," just because. My only possible complaint is that prices are rather high. The service makes it well worth it for specialty cheeses and experimenting with new varieties, but for familiar types, like my favorite sharp, Locatelli Romano, I will continue to hit the Italian Market downtown. read more

This place is amazing. We went to a cheese shop in Peddler's Village and were very disappointed, but this is exactly what we were looking for. The store is nicely kept with a variety of cheese plate type things, and a huge refrigerator case of cheeses. They have such a huge selection of different cheese its always a little overwhelming. But, if you talk to the people behind the counter its apparent they REALLY know their cheese, so they can guide you. You can try little samples of any cheese you think you might like, and they make suggestions based on what you do and don't like. We bought 4 or 5 cheeses and some other odds and ends for a cheese plate and it barely hit $40. We'll definitely be stopping here regularly, very happy we found this place. read more

Five stars is simply not enough for the Grand Fromage. I had a cheese plate put together for a surprise party I threw and it was simply out of this world. The cheese, the presentation, the price, everything was top notch. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable and were glad to work with me to achieve the type of cheese tray I wanted at a better price point than Wegmans. Everyone at my party raved over the cheese, and there wasn't a crumb left at the end of the night. read more

the best part of my meh brunch this past sunday, was wandering in here with my sister to do some investigating (eat cheese). steve, the personable owner, offered us some very good coffee (drink it without sugar/cream) and encouraged us to nibble on the samples of cheese set out on the counter. definitely try the young gouda...i keep wanting to call it the 'rem koolhaas' (insert deconstructionist/modernist architectural reference here), but i think i am misremembering. i picked up a darling tin of spanish pear paste, some mexican chocolate discs, a jar of lemon grass preserved in oil, a package of full-fat french butter (ooh la la), a tin of spicy pimenton, a chunk of crucalo cheese (which i dubbed breakfast cheese since it went really nicely with the coffee) and a nice little baguette (from souderton's own 'bakers on broad') which steve tucked into my bag gratis - thanks again! nb - i am definitely a fan, and am helpless to resist, foreign packaging - the cuter the better. this is a cozy little shop (hard to believe it housed a garage in a previous life) featuring some wonderful goodies, an excellent cheese case, and a super-knowledgeable owner who is passionate about his wares and ready to educate you on the fine art of fromage - according to steve, there are 'no clinkers' in the selection he has so lovingly assembled. after i casually mentioned the region of italy that my parents are from, steve offered to do some digging to see if there was any abruzzese cheese available (there wasn't). i would feel 100% secure in having steve put together a cheese/charcuterie plate for my next party, and i encourage you to stop in and chat steve up, you won't regret it. read more

This place is amazing. You HAVE to visit when in Skippack. I think the quality, knowledge, variety and price outrank other shops like the one in Chestnut Hill. You can do all your gift shopping there as well. I found some adorable animal ornaments for far less than I paid in other shops. They create amazing trays and really cater to your style and personality. They have rescued me from multiple emergency hostess gift situations! read more

My husband and I have been here multiple times - this is the quaintest little cottage type place (looks straight out of a storybook). They have seemingly every cheese known to man along with lots of goodies: spreads, crackers, oils, chocolates, breads - you name it! The owner of the store is the most cordial, outgoing gentleman. Every time we come in, even if he is busy, he immediately greets us, offers lots of free samples and gives lots of options as to different cheese pairings. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Love! They have a fantastic selection, outstanding service and terrific product knowledge. I always learn something when I visit and leave with some great finds. If you know good cheeses, you'll realize that while their products aren't cheap they are priced well and offer a strong value. If you stop in during the weekend, they have lovely baguettes from Bakers On Broad and the selection of condiments and crackers is tremendous. They have a lot of products that I used to get at the Cote & Co in Blue Bell. read more

Wandering the countryside for a decent cheese monger in Phila is an adventure. I was spoiled when I lived back in Boston by great cheese and customer service. I digress. We walked in and everything had a place and was in it. Greeted cheerfully and I missed that ripe brie smell I have become so accustomed to from years of being a cheese shop. but the cheese and the knowledge did not disappoint. I gave them what we traditionally gravitate to and he introduced us to some variations on the theme and a few dark horses. PLUS they had my black sesame and soy rice crackers that I love oh so much not to mention other tasty treats. We left with a bag of goodies to make a small meal out of and will be back to test the waters further. Watch for updates to this review. read more

This place will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!! I don't have enough good things to say about it! Beyond Amazing selection, incredible personal service. You can taste just about anything. Please stop here, buy all your cheese here! You will not, cannot be disappointed. read more

Anyone can have a lot of cheeses in a case, what makes this place a 5 star cheese shop is their amazingly knowledgeable owner. From the moment you walk into the shop he will work to make sure that you leave with a reasonable size portion of the best cheese for your occasion (or personal snacking). We have been to the shop numerous times and have always left more than happy and with a bag full of cheese :). The owner is very generous with samples which ensures you always go home with a piece of cheese you will love. They also stock a variety of other food items that pair well with cheese (sausage, crackers, etc) read more

Heard about the shop and finally added to my errands. Wish I had not delayed so long. EXCELLENT atmosphere, EXCELLENT experience, and fun selection of spin-offs that make sense...Honey, Olive oils, Meats, Pickled products, Chocolates, Coffee, and majority local sourced meaning small businesses supporting small businesses. The backbone of America. Love the shop, love the owners and what they are doing. read more

Do yourself a great favor and buy your cheese only from the Grand Fromage. DiBrono, whole foods and the like do not compare. Bob is extremely knowledgable and customer friendly. Don't be afraid is you are new to cheese either, they are very beginner appropriate as well. read more

Super shop, super owner. He encourages you to taste things so you learn more about what you like and don't like. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and creative staff. Also fantastic French bread from French boulanger. read more

Fantastic cheese experience. Completely knowledgeable staff is truly there to help. Never left with a cheese I wasn't fully satisfied with. They give the same high level of service to the patron asking for Camembert as to the one mistakenly looking for Kraft singles. Frequent stop for me. Plenty of other chocolates breads crackers olives and meat to complete the trip. read more
